My name is Salvatore im 15 years old and I have been overweight since I was a little kid. Being in school was and still is tough because I was always the fat kid in school. Every day someone at school would always call me fatty or just plan fat. People wouldnt think much of me and kids just didnt want to include me in a lot of stuff because i could never run as fast as them. Being in 4th grade weighing more than most of the kids is really sad. Through the kids saying stuff I still continued to play my favorite sport and that is baseball. Unfortunatly I stopped playing about 3 years ago because I couldnt run as fast and people wouldnt want me on their teams.
I have tried many different diets through out my life. You name it and I can tell you that I tried it and failed at each and every one at least twice. Since I have tried every diet on the market I am now going for gastric bypass.
I am not the only one in my family who has had this surgery done. About 8 people in my family including my mother and father have both had gastric bypass done. I have the support and knowledge of this surgery and know what to expect before and after surgery.
My other reason I plan on having this surgery done is because many different health problems exsist in my family. For example, Sleep Disorders,Heart disease,Diabetes, back problems, and many more. I currently have pre diabetes along with moderate sleep apnea and back and leg problems.
Hopefully when i go back to school in september I will look much different and surprise many people.
After having the surgery I wanna be a spokesperson for teens having gastric bypass surgery. I wanna show and tell kids that there is light at the end of the tunnel before its tooooo latee.
